The Last Chance Canal Co. Ltd. was incorporated on Feb. 4, 1899, to irrigate this valley, and its canal system's dam and headworks are located two miles east. The first filing on Bear River to supply the canal was made on Mar. 4, 1897, and to perfect the right it was necessary to put the water through the right of way by Feb. 12, 1899. This tremendous task was accomplished through the ingenuity and perseverance of the brave men and women who pioneered this valley.
